Please Please Me

As iconic as The Beatles have come to be, they had to start somewhere.

Please Please Me is The Beatles' debut album, released in March 1963 in the UK.  "Please Please Me" and "Love Me Do" reached No. 1 on Melody Maker and No. 17 on the UK Singles Chart.  

Please Please Me was ranked No. 39 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time (2012).

(A full background of Please Please Me can be found on Wikipedia.)

Certifications -
Gold in Australia, Canada, and the UK
Platinum in the U.S.


The bulk of the article discusses the recording of the album so where I would normally leave off with a chosen song to follow up with, there are too many to choose from.  Therefore I will highlight The Beatles' legacy and honors as the follow up.
